  SAP Error Message:
  VO017 - Relevant deliveries in warehouse &1 already grouped into waves
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to group or assign deliveries to a new wave in the Warehouse Management (WM) or Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) system, but the deliveries you are attempting to include are already assigned to an existing wave in the specified warehouse (&1).
  In other words, the system prevents you from adding deliveries to multiple waves simultaneously because each delivery can only belong to one wave at a time.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Wave Management in SAP is used to group deliveries for picking and processing in the warehouse.
  Each delivery document (outbound delivery) can only be assigned to one wave.
  If you try to assign a delivery that is already part of a wave, the system throws this error to avoid duplication or conflicts in warehouse processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Wave Assignments:
  
  Identify which wave(s) the deliveries are currently assigned to.
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/WAVE (in EWM) or relevant WM transactions to display wave details.
  
  
  
  Remove Deliveries from Existing Wave:
  
  If you want to assign the deliveries to a new wave, first remove them from the current wave.
  This can be done by ungrouping or deleting the deliveries from the existing wave.
  
  
  
  Assign Deliveries to the New Wave:
  
  After removing from the old wave, assign the deliveries to the new wave as required.
  
  
  
  Check for Wave Status:
  
  Ensure that the wave is not already confirmed or processed, as this might restrict changes.
  Only deliveries in waves that are not yet confirmed can be removed or reassigned.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Warehouse Number:
  
  Verify that the warehouse number (&1) is correct and consistent across your operations.
